At what point are you guys going to notice that every single dude making hyperbolic statements about their AI or their quantum computer or their wireless charger or their whatever like this are massive grifters? every last one of them.

@WallStCynic - Portnoy’s pumping shitcos
- ESG Cathy thinks the more electricity Bitcoin burns the better
- Billy’s selling FyreFest II tickets

Feels like we’re almost back

AGI is definitely here. AGI as in Astonishingly Gullible Idiots.

[Stefan Bjornsson @Stefanbjo]

@winsteadscap is he leaving because they're definitely first to market with a reliable quantum computer?

[Stefan Bjornsson @Stefanbjo]

@ClausMller17 @Tesla Can’t imagine how many insane stories pop up when this all ends up in the court system one day. Saying is there’s never only one cockroach, but we already know of so many.

[Stefan Bjornsson @Stefanbjo]

@adamfeuerstein makes you wonder: how much university research is fake but doesn't have a publicly traded company attached to it?
Researchers are incentivized to publish papers, but who is really incentivized to call out phony research?

[Stefan Bjornsson @Stefanbjo]

@PBRStreetGang7 Good character at the end. But that was a poor performance by Utd, there's no way to sugarcoat it. This team is not good enough.

@mfwarder No one uses Quads as a unit

[Stefan Bjornsson @Stefanbjo]

@ajb_powell smart move I guess. Thinking is something like: people will look at me as a skeptic since I'm in the FTX doc, and therefore people will be be less questioning of my insane and obvious pump and dumps

@noMidwestHedgie I’m ~1 min into CEO speech: QC struggle to add 1+1 but might be able to solve certain differential equations” 🤨

@filippie509 Interestingly they graduated to doctors and lawyers.
I miss the good old days, when truck drivers were imminently going extinct.

@Adrian_H @noMidwestHedgie It’s a pretty funny hoax

What happens first: $IONQ builds a working quantum computer, or a donkey learns to read?

Impressive safety record of the US Nuclear industry. It's more dangerous to trade stocks. @energybants

@PBRStreetGang7 Ye. Imo their best players from last year, Rashford, Licha, Casemiro, have all started poorly. Then I have no idea what Antony is doing in this team.

[Stefan Bjornsson @Stefanbjo]

@log_phase There’s an ocean of papers on Si/SiOx anodes. They’re easy to find and accessible. The ones I read pretty much come to the same conclusion.

New magical cheap high energy density battery
"...experimentation in battery metals is poor"
"has shrunk the testing cycle by 90%"
"There is still a lot of work to do to make it work"
Chamath involved

So many red flags before I even look at what the company does.

SPAC Jesus has a battery breakthrough.

TL;DR: If you’re too lazy to read this, then just look at the graph! We need to be in the upper left quadrant for US energy independence, national security and mass electrification.

The problem with mass electrification in the West today is it relies on complicated materials like Nickel and Cobalt. These are not broadly available; a lot of it comes from high conflict areas, some of it is mined using child labor, the climate implications can be terrible, and China has stockpiled and will rate limit its use. And these are just a few of the problems…

All of this means that batteries are expensive and/or don’t deliver the energy density we want. Part of the reason we are here is that experimentation in battery metals is poor and most of the market is based on technology that is decades old.

At the beginning of the pandemic in 2020, I started a conversation over @X with @VivasVK7.

That back and forth led to us starting a company:

Can we build something that can better predict how different chemical elements may work together to make better battery materials? By building such a system, experiments could run much faster than the counterfactual, and learnings would grow quickly.

In current state-of-the-art battery materials, it takes 12-18mo to evaluate a hypothesis about a new chemical composition for metrics like energy density. The company we started, @Mitra_Chem, has shrunk the testing cycle by 90%, which should become even faster and smarter over time.

It has allowed us to land on a commercial formulation for an improved version of LFP - called LMFP - that will be scaled into OEM supply chains. IOW, slowly creeping towards the magic quadrant.

We have also found a new experimental formulation, LMX, that can deliver the energy density of NMC and NCA at the pack level but at the cost and reliability of LFP. There is still a lot of work to do to make LMX work, but we are hopeful. Aka, sweet foreplay with the magic quadrant is at hand.

Anyways, we just raised our first round of external capital, led by @GM. Hopefully they become customers tomorrow as well as investors today.
